Dave's Team Mascot Photos

Page 1
1991-95

This is the photo that started it all. It was an early business trip,
where I finally felt confident enough to see the city, and one of the
first minor league baseball games I attended. The chicken (duck?)
wanted to pass by and climb on the dugout to do a dance, I grabbed
him and my friend took our picture. A 5x7 of this photo has been on
every office credenza I have had since then.

When digging through our old photos, we found this one from our
day-trip to St Louis when Jesse was just two years old. Our new photo
scanner let us take the small mascot from one corner of the picture
and zoom him up to portrait size. See our other
pictures from the day.

Weber State Wildcats (Fall 1993)

Salt Lake City Golden Eagles (Winter 1994)

On first moving to Ogden, Utah, we tried to become active citizens. A
friend from work got us free tickets to the football game. This is
Jesse, in first grade, with Waldo, the Weber State Wildcat, just
seconds after the game ended.

While in Ogden, we attended a couple of minor league hockey games.
Here the mascot, Icy, is passing out autographed pictures at the city
winter festival. Again, Jesse is in first grade and we had much fun
misprouncing "Ice-ee" as "Icky". We were both 7
years old at the time. The Golden Eagles are long gone, replaced by
the Utah Grizzlies.
